体坛英语资讯：Iniesta may skip Spanish Cup with back sprain

 Spanish first division side Barcelona said on Monday that midfielder Andres Iniesta might skip the club's Spanish Cup clash with Almeria on Wednesday after he sprained his back during a weekend league match.

The 26-year-old Spanish star injured his back during Barcelona's 3-0 win on Saturday over Hercules after a tackle from defender David Cortes.

"He will be kept under observation to determine his availability for Wednesday's game against Almeria," the club said in a statement.

Iniesta has scored seven goals in 31 appearances for Barcelona this season.
